They had these wind farms for miles and miles out of Modesto, Calif. back in the 1970's. Most of them weren't working because of busted propellers etc. They also had solar panels on top of houses back then. If any of this worked or was profitable they would have been going gung ho by now. After all it has been almost 40 years.
Now I live in Eastern Washington and they are putting these awful things on the top of the only foothills we have here.

Ugly things?
I think they are kind of pretty. They can and do work.
The world has been using wind power for centuries.

Isn’t that Jerry McNerney’s district?
California 11th congressional district
Wikipedia also says that he’s the CEO of a startup that intends to manufacture wind turbines.
I don’t believe he’s in DC voting on oil.
